A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit device discovery to be conducted utilizing a first radio technology, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technology, and to then handover to a second radio technology, e.g., a second radio technology having a greater bandwidth than the first radio technology. In the context of a method, device discovery is conducted utilizing a first radio technology. The method also causes communication of handover information in accordance with a predefined attribute protocol of the first radio technology. The method also performs handover to a second radio technology, such as Bluetooth technology or a wireless local area network technology, in accordance with the handover information communicated utilizing the first radio technology.
